At Manitou Animal Hospital, our veterinarians and technicians provide your pet with services that promote a happy healthy life.

Preventative Health Exam and Vaccinations: We provide core vaccinations for dogs and cats, as well as optional vaccines based on your pet's specific needs. We include the optional Leptospirosis vaccine in our dog protocol at no extra charge, as it is a serious bacterial infection that can easily be transmitted from wild animals any time your dog drinks from a puddle. Other optional vaccines include Bordetella or 'Kennel Cough' for dogs, and Feline Leukemia Virus for cats.Also providing preventive health and management of rabbits, as well as elective surgeries.

Spay and Castration:These elective surgeries promote health and well-being, as well as preventing our companion animals from contributing to the pet overpopulation issue. We would love to discuss all the benefits spaying or neutering can have for your pet. Spay and neuter surgeries are booked when routine vaccinations are completed.If you are bringing your pet from another clinic we offer free pre-surgical exams, as long as vaccines are up-to-date.

Surgery:Bladder stone removal, foreign body removal, cesarian section, pyometra, tumour/mass removal, biopsies, stenotic nares correction for brachycephalics. Various eye repairs including entropian and ectropian, and 'cherry eye'. Please contact us if you have any questions regarding these procedures.Specialized Orthopedic and Soft Tissue Surgery:We work with qualified, board-certified surgeons who come into our clinic to perform advanced surgical procedures including knee and hip surgeries. We also offer the option of referral to a specialty clinic or teaching hospital, to meet the needs of your pet.

Dentistry:Under general anesthesia, we are able to perform a full dental examination, cleaning, polishing and tooth extractions as needed. We use the same instruments human dentists use, including an ultrasonic scaler and polisher, to remove tartar and maintain dental hygiene.

Laboratory Services:We have a full range of in-clinic laboratory machines to perform complete blood count (CBC), biochemistry profile and electrolyte analysis. We also have rapid on-site tests available for common viral and parasitic diseases including heartworm and tick-borne diseases in dogs, as well as parvovirus and giardia. We routinely perform in-house fecal analysis for parasites and urinalysis, meaning that we are able to discuss the results with you within hours at most.

Imaging (X-Rays and Ultrasound): We offer full radiographic services on site, including OFA and OVC hip, elbow and shoulder certification. We have an RVT with years of ultrasound experience who works with us to provide in clinic abdominal ultrasound services as needed. Ultrasound is an excellent, non-invasive diagnostic that can often provide significantly more information than X-rays alone. Many vet clinics in the K-W area have trusted us with their referrals.
